Sea Shell Pasta

It's time for a recipe! The first time I had this was when I was in high school. Every time we had a volleyball game, the parents would bring us food to eat. Sometimes we had meals together the night before a game. My friend, Cori, had us over to her house and her mom made this recipe. I absolutely fell in love and have made it ever since!



Sea Shell Pasta

16 oz. shredded mozzarela cheese
4 oz. cream cheese
1 egg
15 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
16 oz. cottage cheese
1/4 c. bread crumbs
Parsley/Italian Seasoning
Large Shell Pasta

Cook about 21 shells. Mix 8 oz. mozzarela, cream cheese, egg, cottage cheese, bread crumbs, and seasoning. Fill shells with cheese mixture. Pour 1/2 sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 pan. Place shells on sauce. Cover with remaining sauce & cheese. Bake at 375 for 20 min.

I don't always put cheese on top. Sometimes I just put the 8 oz. in the shells and that's it. Also, the seasoning is just to taste. Do whatever tastes good to you. I mix it up a little each time I make it. And don't cook the shells any longer than needed or they get too flimsy to put the mixture into. Think "al dente."

Enjoy!!!!!
